The girl ran fast—and she was running with her eyes closed. When she ran into Ning Lanlan, the latter did not even feel any pain. The girl was soft and supple like a ball of cotton.
She broke out of her trance when she realized she bumped into someone. Looking up at Ning Lanlan, she rubbed her eyes and started timidly, “S-sorry…”
Ning Lanlan was warm-hearted. When she saw that the girl was crying with tears still hanging off her lashes, she replied easily, “It’s fine! It was just a little collision!”
Ning Lanlan was curious why the girl was crying so much. As a girl too, she looked at her in worry and pressed her lips together, asking after a while, “What’s wrong? Do you need any help…”
“I’m fine, thank you!” The girl wiped her tears and sniffed before she fell silent. She took two shaky steps toward the zoo, her frail body making her look like she was going to fall.
Ning Lanlan felt bad watching her. After a pause, she finally could not hold herself back and spoke up, “Hey, are you going to the zoo too?”
Actually, when the girl ran out from the side, Ning Lanlan and her friends had heard the conversation. From the girl’s conversation with the few guys, Ning Lanlan and her group could more or less guess what happened to the girl.
Although they did not know how the girl was related to those guys, they could make such a guess from the conversation just now. Those guys probably did not want to buy the entry tickets to the zoo but wanted to enter, and the girl felt that it was not right for them to do that. The voices of the guys berating the girl after that were enough clues for the rest of them.
“I… Um…” Faced with Ning Lanlan who was so friendly, the girl nodded ultimately.
Ning Lanlan was kind-hearted. Seeing that the girl was rather easy to talk to, she tried asking, “We’re going to the zoo as well. Wanna come with us?”
As she spoke, Ning Lanlan turned to Yun Jian and winked at her.
“Me?” The girl was surprised that Ning Lanlan would actually invite her along but she caught up quickly and pointed at herself carefully to ask, “Can I?”
“Of course,” Ning Lanlan answered with a grin.
“Thank you!” The girl’s mood took a better turn.
Yun Jian stood at the side listening to the girl introduce herself to Ning Lanlan. The latter introduced herself, as well as Yun Jian, afterward.
“Hi, you’re so pretty.” The girl looked at Yun Jian and added genuinely.
“Mn, thank you,” Yun Jian replied gracefully with a smile.
Wan Siyao who stood to the side gripped the edge of her clothes with a menacing expression. She was even more furious because Shan Zihao had been staring at Yun Jian in infatuation all the way.
It was undeniable that Ning Lanlan had her ways of making friends. The girl grew comfortable with her shortly. Her name was Tang Qixuan and she was dating the guy who shouted at her to leave just now.
With time, Tang Qixuan had realized that she and her boyfriend had growing disagreements. It was until he shouted at her earlier that it felt like a punch to the gut that choked her up.
